How to install libjpeg for windows?

I downloaded some code that libjpeg uses, but no dlls in the source files are included, and I'm trying to compile / execute it correctly.

I am using VS2010: in my source files I have #include "jpeglib.h", and in Linker > Input > Additional DependenciesI have jpeg.lib, which cannot be found on my computer.

I managed to go here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/jpeg.htm and download the archives of the developer files that really contain the header and the .lib file, the programs compile fine, but when I execute .exe, I have an error jpeg62.dll missingwhich I do not understand.

How should I solve this?

Firstly, I could not find the jpeg62.dll file on the previous website.

Secondly, I am wondering why I need a dll, since I thought that using .lib files for links means that I do not need DLL files for my program. Any help is appreciated

You must also download the binaries and dependencies packages from the GnuWin32 website. The jpeg62.dll file is located in the bin directory of the binary archive.

A .lib file is not always a complete static library; it can also be an import library for a dll that must be present when the program starts.
